Navigation

Cobalt offers a navigation system based on native transitions. This allows fast and furious performances for your web apps :)

It allows the web content of your app to push any new web page and to choose in which native controller the page will be shown. A default fullscreen controller is packed with Cobalt but you can create your own, and start to mix web and native components on the same view.

Using navigation on the web side

All navigation commands are in the cobalt.navigate scope :

• cobalt.navigate.push, to push a new page
• cobalt.navigate.pop, to pop the current page
• cobalt.navigate.popTo, to pop to a specified previous page
• cobalt.navigate.modal and cobalt.navigate.dismiss, for an alternative navigation
• cobalt.navigate.replace, to replace the current page with another

cobalt.json

All of theses commands rely on the existence of a cobalt.json file in the www folder, wich tells what native controller correspond to the named pages.
